Three things the Green Bay Packers need to improve against the Minnesota Vikings.

While there were many positives from the Green Bay Packers‘ season-opening victory over the Chicago Bears, it was anything but a flawless performance. For once, we’re talking about the dominance of the defense and the impressive play on special teams.

But the offense disappointed, scoring only 10 points. Had it not been for one of the Packers’ best defensive performances since they last won the Super Bowl, they’d almost certainly be 0-1.

Matt LaFleur and his staff have a lot to work on entering Week 2. By the time this game kicks off, they will have had 10 days to prepare, three days more than the Vikings. And after the majority of the offensive starters either sat out of the preseason or only played in one game, that extra time to rest and prepare could be valuable.

Last week’s win at Solider Field was an important one and will make a big difference to the NFC North standings. But this week’s game is at Lambeau Field, and to be a playoff team, you can’t afford to lose too many divisional games at home.

To win this game, the Packers will need to be at their best. And that means improving in these three areas.
